Favorite Metal Halide?

Well its time for me to Replace the 70w Double Ended Metal Halide bulb on my 12 Gallon aquapod, I've been looking around, and would really like to know everyone's preference.

I'm aware some of the favorites on RC are Pheonix, Ushio, and Hamilton, are all commonly used,

whats your preference? Any expierence and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as well as

where to find these bulbs inexpensively.

Options might be limited for 70W but the 12K Reeflux is my personal favorite.

I have used 250w 12K Reeflux for over two years and love them. I don't know if the make them for 70w?
